SIAM Workshop on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04)

Combinatorial algorithms play a key supporting role in many aspects
of scientific computing. Examples include orderings for sparse
direct methods, graph coloring and partitioning for parallel
computing, geometric algorithms in mesh generation and string
algorithms in computational biology. The enabling importance of
combinatorial algorithms in scientific computing is often overlooked,
and subcommunities of researchers with overlapping interests are
often unaware of each other. To address this fragmentation
and to strengthen the ties between the scientific computing and
discrete algorithms communities, SIAM is sponsoring a workshop
on Combinatorial Scientific Computing (CSC04).
